Here is a quick rundown of the construction projects just to get the thread started. More information will be added such as proposals/renderings as time permits.

Does Apogee Midtown include Whole Foods or is that a separate project?

I'm going back to Atlanta in late November for the first time since January after living abroad. I can't wait to see how much of it has changed. I had the presence of mind to take some "before" pictures before leaving so I should be able to do some before and afters, especially from spots clearly visible within Spire

Will Midtown be the primary downtown anytime soon? It seems like Downtown is maintaining its old status as office and convention nexus while Midtown is getting most of the housing plus a big chunk of other things.

No...I think for that very reason downtown will continue to be the primary historic central city. Both are becoming a strong combination of residential, office, and hotel/tourism and the connection between the two will eventually become seamless. Downtown is still the more densely-built of the two, but Midtown is filling in those empty lots at a very fast pace. If some of the big downtown projects get off the ground we will see the boom move that way a bit, but Midtown looks to continue its boom into the foreseeable future.

The designation offers protection to the building, and what's more, the owner seems to have heard the hubbub. At the meeting, the owner announced the company has no plans to demolish the building, but will work with neighbors to identify a suitable alternative use.

News of the victory for preservationists adds to growing successes around Atlanta, which have included the Bell Building, the Forsyth-Walton Building, and the Trio Laundry. Meanwhile, the wheels are in motion for the landmarking of another threatened building, the former Trust Company Bank branch at Monroe Drive.

Question. What is the Canopy by Hilton thing in Midtown that is listed as under construction? 12 stories? I know there was the 21 (I think) story one downtown that got proposed, but I didn't know or think the 12 story one existed.
